BEACHAM, Art.,' ABBEVILLE, 8. C. March 11.1903. tf . Workshops Around Niagara. One of the most wonderful work- i shops of the world Is now under way j around Niagara Falls. The moat j oeauuiui ana romantic cascade ever . known is proving to ha\e a utilitarian value that, in time, may eclipse its ? fame for the picturesque. Science has 2 3eized upon tnis wonderful prodigy of D nature, drawing upon its enormous $ stock of ready-made power for use in a all sorts of manufacturing industries. L The work, so far, has been done with- % uut detriment to the beauty of the jj cataract. It is to be hoped this rnagmficeut spectacle will never be spoiled, but capital and science have seized J upon its marvelous richies, and the b question has not been considered as to f how far they will go. The same I motive has prevailed that converted v the falls of.the Mississippi atMiuneap- g [)lis into a handmaid of the milling $ industry. Such may ultimately be the fate of Niagara. When Lord Kelviu, the eminent British electrical ? authority, was in the United States * last year, he paid a vifit to the power- ' works of Niagara, for which he was b one of the consulting engineers. He e was much plea-ed with what he saw, 8 and made the prediction that the 0 ultimate exhaustion of the co*l and nil supplies would result iu takiug the -* power of the future from lakes aDd streams. The beginning was made with Niagara, auother great plant has been built, or is being built, on the St. Lawrence, and a third has been successfully established in California, i while.*in the Mysore gold fields of <3 India and elsewhere other vast enter- p prises are under way. t The cheapening of power that has T already been acomplished gives the best economic reasons for the work. f Attention hi\s been called to it by the starting up of the pig iron furnaces of * the Lackawanna Steel &, Iron com- ^ pany at Buffalo. This plant is to be C fully provided with electrical power furnished by. the Falls, it being the v one concern of the kind in the world 0 for the present that will have the ad- ^ vantage of the uew force. It is assert- t. ed that this power is valued at $15 or $20 per horse power per year ; cheaper ^ than it could be made with coal, even " if the coal could be obtained for noth- '( ing. The amount obtained from the 8 Falls is now 60,000 horse power, and 1 plans are under way to increase the tl output to 350,000 as soon as po-sible, a while a conservative estimate is that m 1,000,000 will be obtained within the next ten years. The advantage it will give this great corporation iu the production of steel products, it is said, will amount to $2 or $3 a ton over Pittsburg production. . The plant is a claimed to be as complete as that of tl the United States Steel company, it n having a vast amount of ore lands aud h every other provision for the raw e material which are to be worked up n into steel products. The plant will 0 employ many thousand men, and ^ among its directors and owners are .. tnauy of the best known manufacturers iiid capitalists in the United States. ri The abundance and cheapness of the u Niagara power does not stop with the t< new steel plant. Most of the power m is turned to profitable use in electro- tc heinieal processes. For instance, t, here is one company there which is n iovv producing daily 30 tous of caustic ? ?>da and 90 tons of bleaching powder. ? \notherhas an output of 12 tous of ^ ?>da and tons of bleaching powder. S \ third turns out ten tons of spongy li ead, a fourth 19,000 tons of metallic b iluniinum and still others mauufac- p ure artificial graphite, emery and >hosphorus. Science and capital are learning iiore and more to control the energies >f nature that formerly found expresiion solely in the beautiful aud the picturesque, An early American poet ta who wrote "The Song of Steam" pre- d< licted much of what men would do with this then newly discovered jjjj power, but what is steam to electricity u when Dame'Nature herself attends to tue mp ".uracture? g Try our LVg l'hosphates. ^lllford's Drug r( Store."

The measure, as proposed ana 3 It will be backed by the good roads sople, provides for the establishment C a department of commerce andt asportation or commeroe and public 'orks. It Is Intended to establish uner Its direction a bureau of good )ads. At present the bureau of public tad Inquiries Is under the department ! agriculture. It Is also the Intention > place bureaus now under the direeon of the Interior and treasury deartmenti under the proposed departlent of commerce. President Moore C the National Good Roads assoclaon recently said: "I have talked with a great many tembers of congress this summer, 1th the result that I am confident the ew department will be created at the ext session, mvery eeuaior uuu reyxesntative I have seen favorajt "Heretofore the politicians have not nderstood the sltnation, bnt now they re getting their eyes opened. The eople are also beginning to see someling must be done toward building ermanent good roads. Our mission Is ) educate, and in establishing this deartment and making a liberal approbation for It the government will also e educating. No one expects the govrnment to build the roads. Such a ropositlon would be foolish. The goyrnment can, however, build sample oads and thereby let the people know rhat the advantages are. The states inst build the roads. "The railroads are Interested in a lovement for good roads because they ealize good roads are essential to their iterests. At present shipments pracIcally stop in a large part of the connry l?r five months every year because be farmers cannot get to the railroad tatlons. The result la the railroad ompanles must try to have cars enough o carry the business when the farmers an get to the stations. This compels bem to keep large numbers of cars lie much of the time, ar.d as they on't want to maintain any more rollyg stock than Is absolutely necessary, hey are usually short of cars when the ush comes. With good roads all over he country the traffic would be dls- >" rlbuted through twelve months of the ear. This Is the reason the railroads rant good roads." v j STATE AID IN NEW YORK, j Hiat It la Accompli*hixur For Roa4 Improvement. IB a recent Duneun reviewing uia rork of road Improvement in New, fork state State Engineer Bond says: ' . j 'be legislature appropriated $420,000 or road Improvement this year, and a the three years In which road imrovement work has been In progress 0 roads, having a total mileage of 45 alles, have been Improved at a cost of 367,600; that 36 roads, having a mile- 3. ge of 122 miles, are now undergoing mprovcment at a cost of $773,780; ' hat fnnds have been awarded for the mprovement of 3 roads having a college of 7 miles at a cost of $56,600, and '} hat plans have been approve^ bji >A oards of supervisors of 12 counties or the Improvement of 47 roads, havag a mileage of 134 miles,' which tronld impose an expense upon the UtVH BUU LUD WUllUCOi u BUV|i?iq ? 1,091,443.* When all the roads already lmprovd, those under Improvement and hose whose Improvement la suggested lave been Improved, 106 will have een constructed In 23 counties, cov-t ring 310 miles, at a cost of &280,74.35, of which the state will have paid ne-half and the counties one-half. # ROAD PROGRESS IN OHIO. - y'| mproTement Does Si t Keep Pact With the Demand of the Times. Ohio has by no means kept pace In be matter of roadbulldlng throughout V he country districts either with the rogress made In steam railways or la he Improvement of city streets, where rithln the past twenty-five years the Id macadam and bowlder thorough* ores have given way almost entirely a the more perfect and lasting granite, rick and asphalt, says the Cincinnati !ommerclal Tribune. It Is true there Is In this state a law rhlch enables the townships through* ut Ohio to Improve their road system* nown as the free turnpike law, and It as done wonders for the common oads of the state during the twenty* ve years or more that it has been In orce. Perhaps a few other states have Imllar laws, but they are not general, 'he ordinary country roads throughout tie country generally are, as they have lways been, things to avoid In the scfe on of freezing and thawing, during rhlch they are usually Impassable. Road Progren In TeueiiM. Judging from the enthusiasm which . | ttended the recent annual meeting of he Tennessee Good Roads association, Quch work in the Improvement, of lghways will be accomplished In that tate next year. The convention was M ot content with academic discussions f the advantages of good roads, the est material for roadways and the ke, but took practical steps toward a ealizatlon of the ideals. To secure nlted action throughout the state and ) build up an organization which rould be strong enough to demand legilation each county court was urged > send three delegates to each annual leeting of the State Roads association. t was decided also to ask the legisla* ore for the appointment of a state ex>lneer to consult with county superitendents in the matter of roads and , ridges and for legislation which would ermlt the employment of jail Inmates i roartmaking, .
